Kansas is putting up billions for the Chiefs’ new stadium… and people are mad about the terms

According to a term-sheet summary reported locally, Kansas lawmakers approved a plan built around STAR bonds / public financing for a new domed Chiefs stadium, with public support often described in the multi-billion range depending on how the full package is counted. Here’s the part that’s lighting up debate: the deal framework includes a separate fund for repairs/maintenance/operations that’s supported by stadium rent (widely cited as about $7M) and state sports wagering revenue. That structure is why commentators like Pompliano are calling it “historically lopsided,” basically arguing Kansas carries the risk while the team keeps the upside. What do you think: did Kansas negotiate like they were bidding against themselves? #NFL #Chiefs #StadiumDeal #SportsBusiness #Kansas #PublicFunding #NFLNews #NFLDiscussion

Mike Tomlin just did it AGAIN: 19 straight seasons without going under .500

At this point it’s not a streak — it’s a law of physics. With the Steelers’ win over the Lions, Mike Tomlin officially locked in his 19th straight season finishing .500 or better. Nineteen. No losing years. Ever. And that win was also career win #200 for Tomlin (including playoffs) — putting him in ridiculously rare company. Meanwhile the Steelers as a franchise just keep doing Steelers things: it extended their NFL-record 22 consecutive non-losing seasons… and Tomlin owns basically all of the modern part of that run. No matter the QB, injuries, roster flips, “down years,” whatever — Tomlin just refuses to fall off. Is Mike Tomlin underrated, properly rated, or somehow still not rated high enough? #NFL #Steelers #MikeTomlin #NFLHistory #Coaching #NFLDiscussion
